Please pray for the good people in the CC GOP

 Dear Friends,

I am asking for you to pray for the precinct chairs in the Collin County GOP (CC GOP).  The grassroots precinct chairs have been under undue pressure and we need your prayers.  Our Collin County party Chairman resigned on April 7, 2025 and we had an internal election to replace him.  The candidate who said that the name calling should stop and we should work together lost the election.  We will have to see whether or not the bullying stops.  Do pray for us.

Here are some examples of our problems. In the February 3, 2025, Executive Committee (EC) meeting, an elderly precinct chair (PC) was accosted by an Establishment PC.  After complaining to  her about a vote in a previous meeting, he hit her with the door as she was leaving.  She turned and told him that he hurt her, and he did not apologize.  Another lady who is a PC told me that she intends to carry mace to protect herself if she gets attacked at an EC meeting.  Oh my goodness!  Elderly ladies and grandmas are worried for their safety at our Republican EC meetings!

 

In the January 6, 2025, EC meeting there was an incident that was pretty well documented.  You can see the video in YouTube:  "Hammer and Knapp 1 6 25", https://youtu.be/84krgcCWx18?si=VfoUHSPzXgFV2iAC

You can read the details of this incident in the email that I am enclosing below. 

 

Below my email is a copy of an email sent by Jeremiah Hammer in response to an email from Greg Knapp.  Mr. Hammer's entire email is copied so you have all the context, but the important words are highlighted by me in yellow..  If you do not want to read the entire email from Mr. Hammer, at least read the highlighted segment. 

 

This pressure that grassroots PCs have been getting from Establishment PCs has been going on for a long time.  It was April of last year, 2024, when the current first Vice Chair was videoed pushing two grassroots activists. 

 

It takes courage now to stand for Republican values, to ask that rules be followed and to have decent behavior in our meetings.  The pressure is relentless.  We need your prayers.  

 

Christian friends have told me that they will not get involved in politics because politics are corrupt.  Well, the Republican Party has turned into something unpleasant, but there are many good people in the party who are standing up to bullying and trying to do the right thing.  

 

Please pray for us.  

Robert

Here, below, is the email I sent to precinct chairs about the Hammer-Knapp incident. I tried to provide as much evidence as I could.  I ended the email with a recommendation that Chairman Williams resign. 

Dear PCs,

This is interesting.

At the January 6 Executive Committee (EC) meeting of the Collin County GOP we had a controversial incident.  It was captured on video.  You can see the video in YouTube:  "Hammer and Knapp 1 6"25, https://youtu.be/84krgcCWx18?si=AfppIUotUf5dCdkk

Here is a guide for you to use when you look at the video.

 

The video shows Mr. Hammer, a young man, quickly running to the microphone while Mr. Knapp walks slowly down the stairs, going one step at a time.

I do that too.  I have bad knees and I have to go slowly down stairs.

Mr. Hammer speaks at the microphone and then wants to sit back down.

Mr. Knapp is waiting for his turn to speak at the microphone.  His attention is on the microphone, waiting for his chance to speak.

Mr. Hammer decides not to wait for Mr. Knapp to go to the microphone and moves past him. 

When you first watch the video, you will see Mr. Hammer go past Mr. Knapp.  Now look at it again and look at the two ladies who are circled in the picture above.

You will see the mouth drop open in shock on the lady on the left.  You will see the lady to the right pointing at the incident.

These ladies saw the incident and were disturbed by it.

Now watch the video again and look at Mr. Knapp's right hand.  See how Mr. Knapp quickly grabs the railing for support

Young folks might not realize it, but when you are in your 70's you start being careful with your balance.

From this angle you cannot see Mr. Hammer's right hand make contact with Mr. Knapp.  You see the hand go up.  You see Mr. Knapp get moved back and grab the railing.

It looks like there was enough room for Mr. Hammer to move past without touching Mr. Knapp.

What do you think?  Would you say Mr. Hammer pushed Mr. Knapp?  Or would you say that Mr. Hammer poked Mr. Knapp?

After you decide whether Mr. Hammer pushed or poked Mr. Knapp, what you might consider next are the words written and distributed widely by Mr. Hammer.  I am copying them below and suggest you skip to the words highlighted in yellow.  The point I am making by including Mr. Hammer's email is the attitude Mr. Hammer has towards Mr. Knapp.  I suspect that Mr. Hammer's feelings toward Mr. Knapp were present when he decided to touch Mr. Knapp as he went past him.  Perhaps unwanted physical contact is an assault.  But if it is a poke instead of a push, is it really an assault?

I believe that this is evidence of bullying.  Even if the unwanted touching was a poke instead of a push, I think it could be interpreted as an act of bullying.  And it is my observation that there has been a consistent pattern of bullying ever since Mr. Shelby Williams became the county party chairman.  On the night that Mr. Williams was sworn in, June 17, 2024,  he told the EC that if we did not vote for the rules changes that he wanted, then he would adjourn the meeting and we would have to leave without accomplishing anything.  It seems to me that Mr. Williams has a pattern of bullying in our meetings and that his followers are picking up his habit of bullying people that they don't like.

It seems to me that the Collin County Republican Party has become toxic under the influence of Mr. Williams.  I believe that for the good of the party that Mr. Williams should resign.  It seems to me that politics has brought out the worst in Mr. Williams, and that it would be best for the community of Collin County if he withdrew from politics, because politics seems to bring out the worst in Mr. Williams.

Thank you for your patience in watching the video carefully a few times.  I am curious to hear your opinions on this matter.

Robert

 

Here is a copy of the email Mr. Hammer sent out after Mr. Knapp complained publicly about how he was treated at the January 6 EC meeting.

For the sake of brevity, I am skipping the email sent by Mr. Knapp in which Mr. Knapp objected to the way he was treated.

To my fellow precinct chairs:

Earlier this week, in an attempt to disparate my name and reputation, the below email was circulated by Greg Knapp claiming that I assaulted him at the last meeting.  This is a lie, which he, along with four other precinct chairs, conspired to give false testimonies to the police, in a deliberate attempt to frame me for a violent crime.

On Tuesday morning I received a call from the officer who took the incident report, and told me that upon reviewing the video, there are no charges being filed,as there is no evidence whatsoever of me assaulting Greg. Only of him clearly leaning in to me after he told me he was 1. deliberately blocking me from returning to my seat and 2. that he was not going to allow me to pass. 

The video then shows him leaning into me when I tried to get to my seat, at which I touched his shoulder to steady myself. He then started screeching "assault" which again, mind you is an outright lie.

I returned to my chair.

Moments later, he got in my face while I was seated to threaten me with arrest. He is a real life creep and he's treated other members of our body in a similar fashion.  

Having now had the opportunity to interact with Gregg on numerous occasions, I can say with absolute certainty, objectivity, and sincerity, that he is a despicable, festering, mound of donkey shit with legs and a disgrace to our party and country.

The other four lying precinct chairs who decide to bear false witness, you are all an embarrassment to yourselves and only every so slightly less disgusting examples of human beings than Greg. I encourage you to repent and beg God for forgiveness. 

All that being said, I forgive them all. Their behavior is precisely to be expected. 

You have to remember that these are the same people who tried to have Shelby Williams arrested in an attempt to improve the odds of winning for their puppet candidate, Ellen Loveless, who we all know is a complete ding dong and couldn't lead her way out of a paper bag with both hands and a map.

These are the same people that violently attacked Jim and Joanie Pikl at our EC meeting.

And the same people trying to frame Stephen Kallas for assault during yet another one of Donovan's violent outbreaks.  This behavior is pathological. These people are garbage humans. Pray for their souls.

Do you recall last month, I warned you that this same band of degenerates who rigged the vetting and recruiting committee over the last 4 elections, were planning on sodomizing the rules committee?

Well, they did not disappoint, and went full Diddy on the hypocritical, word salad, garbage resolution that not only points a [metaphorical] gun at fellow republicans while simultaneously condemning independent thought, but at the same time, only serves to alienate many of the moderate and independent voters who held their nose and voted for Trump this year. It was monumentally ill thought out, and worse it made no sense to the average person.  Read it to a 6th grader and tell us what they think [hint: it's crap]. Huge waste of everyone's time, especially the rules committee chair.

To add insult to injury, they tried to top it off with Rohitler's unrelated and utterly stupid amendment that the party coerce the chair into signing a letter, against his will and judgement, that only serves to the detriment of our party and reputation with voters. 

By the grace of God, what was intended as another trap to undermine our party leadership and reputation, turned into a revelation of the very degenerates seeking to undermine our party, and their plot failed.

Matthew 7:15-20 15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.The bible says you will know them by their fruits.

At Monday's meeting, we all saw the fruits.  Everyone that stood in support of more of John's toddler tantrums, is part of the group of ECs that have been actively sabotaging our party for the last 6 years. Do not trust any of them. Their intentions are evil. They are cursed people, and one they will turn on you when you don't think and talk alike.

Because of the antics of this same crowd, yet again, the party has no committees, no speaker for Lincoln Day, and no capacity to endorse because the degenerates are constipating every facet of the EC you allow them to come in contact with.

I commend each and every one of you who stood up in opposition to the forces of evil on Monday night. That took incredible courage.  God is good, and He favors the virtuous.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. My cell is xxx-xxx-xxxx if you ever want to call or text me and gain a better understanding of anything, political, municipal, technical or otherwise, drop me a line, or let's go and meet for coffee. 

The CCGOP has much rebuilding to do, and we are only improving, even in spite of the efforts of those who work so hard for our ruin. 

The degeneracy will stop.  Stand with us. 

For God and County

What is the Establishment?

Dear Friends,

When we see the Establishment fighting the Grassroots in Collin County, we should bear in mind that the Establishment is a loose term.  Locally, it might be more accurate to say that the Plano/Frisco Establishment is fighting the Grassroots in Collin County.  I am sharing some of my thoughts on this matter and I hope these opinions might be helpful in analyzing what is happening now.

In a broader sense, the Establishment is a large aggregation of elected officials, institutions, and influential people.  The Establishment in the broader sense is not unified.  Different parts of the Establishment are in conflict with other parts of the Establishment.  When Texas Speaker of the house Dade Phelan attacked Attorney General Ken Paxton, trying to remove him from office, that was one part of the Establishment attacking another part of the Establishment.  You can consider every elected official to have his own piece of the Establishment.  The Establishment in Texas is like a feudal society with lots of earls and barons and dukes all maneuvering around the king of the Establishment, the Governor of Texas.

Ken Paxton fought back against the local representatives who tried to remove him by primarying all the local reps who voted to impeach him through an illegal process.  The committee that impeached him violated Texas law in the process they used to impeach him.  (They violated Sec. 301.022. of the Texas Government Code.)  You should know that many members of the Establishment  feel that they are above the law and that rules do not apply to them.  Supporters of CC GOP Chairman Shelby Williams told me that Chairman Williams doesn't have to follow rules because no one can make him follow the rules.  The Establishment feels privileged.

When we had HD66 State Rep Matt Shaheen on the ropes, Gov. Abbott came and held a rally for Shaheen.  We still had Shaheen on the ropes, so Abbott came a second time and put his face on the mountains of mailers Shaheen sent out.  Abbott said that he was supporting Shaheen because Shaheen supported Abbott's school choice bills.  Another way of looking at it is that Abbott revealed himself as being at war with Attorney General Ken Paxton.  The RINO Establishment has attacked Ken Paxton for years.  We can speculate now that perhaps Abbott was in the shadows pushing Phelan to impeach Paxton.  This is one example of one part of the Establishment fighting another part of the Establishment.

Here is another example of Establishment versus Establishment.  Years ago John Muns ran against Keith Self for the position of County Judge.  That was the Plano Establishment versus the County Establishment.  Then there was the time recently when the Establishment tried to slip Shelby Williams into the position of CC GOP Chair behind our backs.  Fortunately the Grassroots discovered the trickery and a couple of Grassroots candidates ran for party Chair.  We got the Establishment candidate into a runoff, but we lost.

With an Establishment puppet as party chair, we have had a year of constant attacks by the Establishment against the Grassroots activists.  All of this hostility by the Establishment, the Plano/Frisco Establishment to be more precise, against the Grassroots is based I think on the desire of the CC GOP precinct chairs to want to endorse conservative Republicans in local municipal elections.  The big donors, the puppet masters, the want-to-be king makers within the Plano/Frisco Establishment do not want the Republican Party promoting conservative Republicans in municipal and ISD races, so the Establishment through its puppet Chairman Williams has been attacking the Grassroots activists by weakening the rights and privileges of the precinct chairs with terrible rules changes jammed down our throats at the June Organizational meeting and by repeated attacks against the most visible conservative precinct chairs.

Not all members of the Establishment hate the Grassroots, just one or two factions hate the Grassroots.  I believe that the months that Chairman Williams spent attacking the Grassroots leadership took the wind out of the effort to reclaim the HD70 state representative position back from the Democrats, so the Williams war against the Grassroots gutted the effort to take back HD70.  

The Establishment doesn't just fight the Grassroots, it fights other factions within the Establishment.

All of this internal fighting weakens our party.  Abbot and Phelan attacking Ken Paxton, and Chairman Williams attacking the Grassroots is a huge waste of time and it is bad for us as a political party.  Elected officials that are part of the broader Establishment have told me that they want to stay out of the Williams versus the Grassroots fight because they need support from the entire party, both the Establishment PCs and the Grassroots PCs.

The wealthy donors are a part of the Establishment.  Anyone with sufficient influence is a part of the Establishment.  Throughout the entire history of politics, the rich have wanted to control everyone else, so they want to control the politicians and the political parties.  The Establishment changed our party rules to take power away from precinct chairs and give it to the Establishment puppet, Chairman Williams.  With his increased power he has made a mess out of our party.  This is why power needs to be dispersed and shared.  Too much power in the hands of one man leads to disaster.

I am reminded of how the French aristocrats who conquered England in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 could never get those pesky Englishmen to give up wanting liberty.  The desire for liberty grew and grew until it blossomed in the Constitution of the United States of America.  It is by clinging to our desire for our liberties and rights that we in the Grassroots can move the Republican Party forward in spite of Establishment hostility.

Free people cannot remain free if they start giving up because of Establishment hostility.  We are the land of the free and the home of the brave because we have the courage and fortitude to resist the hostility and the bullying of all tyrants, the Establishment included.

This article expresses my opinions. We can both see the same thing, but perceive it differently, or remember it differently, or interpret it differently.  I hope this article is helpful to some of my readers.  I understand that you might disagree.

Thank you for your time,
Robert
